Editorial Review for Magnolia Cafe South – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
It's bohemian, but clean and comfortable, brightly painted and calm, even though it's loud and packed. Musicians, actors, artists, couples, students and families put their names on the list and wait--they've done this before and know it's worth it. The menu offers home-style food in large portions to satisfy vegetarians and omnivores: Fish tacos in voodoo spices in creamy Southwestern tartar sauce, barbecue chicken enchiladas and huge salads loaded with veggies.

Magnolia is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The food is **VERY** reasonably priced and the service is pretty good too. There is a lot of selection of food to choose from.

Pros: great food, Authentic Austin Experience, great location by So-Co Strip, good variety of food

Cons: parking can be difficult, sometimes a wait, service can be so-so at times

4 Star Rating: Recommended

I try to eat healthy and they had options for me which was a pro, I had steamed veggies and mushroom soup which was very good. I also love their omlettes. my friend got an ensalada which had a huge pool of unappatizing grease in it but tasted good. Love the austin atmosphere, casual and layed back. Can get crowded in morning and so on, but thats normal.

Pros: good variety, good pancakes

Cons: greasy ensaladas, crowded at times
